FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the Saucony Guide 7 trainers?
The design is inspired by the aesthetics of early 2000s technology, particularly computer hardware like mechanical keyboards and CRT monitors, and incorporates elements from Saucony's own heritage stability trainers.
What materials are used in the construction of the uppers?
The uppers are constructed from a combination of luxurious hairy suede, smooth nubuck, and a breathable, retro-inspired triangle mesh.
What type of cushioning is featured in the midsole?
These trainers feature ProGrid cushioning for exceptional comfort and responsive support.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer comfort and support, the Guide 7 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer. For dedicated running, consider Saucony's performance running shoe lines.
How should I clean the suede and nubuck components?
For suede, use a suede brush and specialized cleaner. For nubuck and mesh, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
What comes included with the trainers?
The trainers come with two pairs of laces: one tonal pair that matches the shoe's colour scheme and one contrast pair for a different look.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the trainers are designed as unisex, indicated by the sizing typically provided in UK men's measurements.
Troubleshooting
Suede appearing matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following product instructions.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar material and thickness. Consider using the included contrast laces for a fresh look.
Discomfort after initial wear
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Outsole losing grip
Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean it. If significant wear is visible, replacement might be necessary, though the lugged design offers good longevity.
